"Victor I don't think spending the night in that surrogate's room was a good idea," Monica said as she walked to Victor not sure why he had to spend the night in Vivienne's room. He already employed servants to look after him so why would he decide to sleep in her room? She was not happy when she found him sitting in a chair with his head on Vivienne's bed while she held his hand as if they were some coupleThe sight was something she wasn't so pleased to see. Victor was busy checking some recent files delivered to his mansion by Beverly. Since he wasn't going to the office or visiting the bank."Do you need anything?" like every time Monica tried to start a con with Victor he ignored her and treated her like air but not anymore. She is to remind him of the only woman in his life. Even if she wasn't there Victor had no right to hold or hug or even touch any other woman"Are you planning on replacing her?"Monica lowered her voice as she asked more seriously. Her eyes were sharp and pi
(Vivienne) I woke up feeling tired, my head was spinning so much that standing was impossible. I didn't know what happened to me but I didn't like what I woke up. I was connected to some IV. I yelled to be freed and Julia rushed in together with Justin"Stay calm Vivienne...it's okay I'll remove it, "Justin said softly as soon as he rushed in and started removing whatever he put on my hand. I winced in pain as I watched Justin place some cotton on the little spot which drew some blood. He pressed his fingers there to stop blood from flowing. I was so confused and felt ill"Mr. Ellison...I brought the soup you asked for"it was Julia who rushed back into the room holding a tray with a white bowl on it. I didn't know why they were subjecting me to such torture but Justin had a serious expression on his face as he worked around"Justin...any problem...why all these medicines?"I asked, noticing a lot of bottles on the side table. I recalled some parts of the previous night and I knew how
(Vivienne)"Stop defending her Justin...if we give this girl a lot of freedom... She'll start to think this is her house"Monica didn't stop there, it seemed she was out to put out my mistake. I wanted to defend myself but I chose to stay quiet not because I was afraid but because I was innocent. She was wrong about me just like the rest of them. I chose to be a surrogate because I wanted good for myself. And if she was worried about Victor then she could as well as stop troubling her heart because Victor was only concerned about his unborn baby. It was written in his eyes and I didn't mind. I had only one mission and that was to bear him a child, get paid, and leave their lives. Monica was making a mountain out of a molehill"Please Monica...stop this...why are you bothering her or have you forgotten why Victor kept you around... Vivienne is pregnant it's best we don't stress her out!"Justin got furious as he spat out his words and sounded annoyed as he grabbed Monica's hand and pull
"Sir... everything is ready…"Beverly said to Victor as soon as her boss entered the office. Victor seemed to be in a foul mood just judging by his cold distant behavior which wasn't new. She looked at him for a while but shifted her attention to the files she had in her hands. There was a lot to do and her boss coming in late for work scared her"I thought you were on leave?" to her surprise Victor said as he sat in his chair and took off his coat and hung it aside. Beverly didn't react as her eyes shone with delight. He was right she was on a week break as per her calendar month however with the current situation with her boss and dealing with his new surrogate, she thought he might need her help somehow"Y...yes sir but I thought…"Beverly stammered to voice out her opinion and tell him what she thought but just one look from Victor shut her up"You can go...I'll handle this," he said coldly as he concentrated on his work. Beverly didn't argue or anything but nodded knowing Victor ha
(Vivienne)I was agitated and disturbed throughout the entire drive. I kept on checking the time. Ignoring all the calls I was getting from Victor on Kyan's phone. I didn't know why he was even calling when no one was answering. I coaxed Bobby to drive the car as fast as he could but the man told me he was not allowed to endanger my lifeI scoffed in my heart knowing full well it was Victor who gave him such ridiculous rules. Looking down at the files in my hands. I was even more anxious as the driver finally took a left turn and I rolled down the car windows and knew we arrived. Just the grand entrance made my jaw drop. The clean surrounding was enough to tell me I was in paradise I heard of beautiful resorts which were by the Seaside. People went to such places for vacations and honeymoons and to know there were many resorts like the Monro resort which was nothing but a glorious display of wealth. From the large building to the tight good security. The beautiful palm trees and exot
"Excuse me...ex…"I was about to say when I was nearly pushed but I gasped and balanced on my feet and there was an opening. A short looking man in leather clothes walked to me and I guessed he was the one shouting instructions"And you...which hole did you crawl out from...if you want an autograph from Leo...then get to the back of the line" the man said rudely as he stood in front of me. I was stunned at his outburst that I failed to understand why he thought I came for some ridiculous autograph"Look here, sir...I just want to pass...I was told this is the only way in from the back" I said straight not showing any fear but I guess the man was arrogant and rude"This is a private area closed down because the city's hotshot is here doing a photoshoot...kindly go back from where you crawled out from"again he didn't have to be so mean when I asked him politely. He was making whatever it was a big deal and I was running out of time"Please, sir...I need to take these files inside ASAP...
(Vivienne)I stood to the sides watching Victor get angry, when he approached I thought his anger was directed at me but he headed straight to Leo. It came when I was surprised to see Leo acting all scared. It seemed they knew each other well but how"The main entrance is getting remodeled bro...I needed to use the pool area...this girl meddled in my affairs" I heard Leo say to Victor, he sounded nervous as he explained himself and I soon understood why the driver used the back entrance. I thought he didn't just know but it turned out this was the only way unfortunately Leo had a mind of his own. Being a celebrity had clouded his brain and made him think he was the best thing that ever happened to people. I scoffed thinking about that as I enjoyed my time hearing him act like a soaked cat. The camera crew as well as the fans who were making noise were already ordered to leave hence it was only Victor, Leo, and I as well as the manager left but standing to the sides"My apologies miss
I remained there standing like a statue left out to dry in the scorching sun. My head was spinning from the hot harsh sun rays and my throat was dry."Looks like you saved the day madam...sir was agitated"the manager came to me and said with a light chuckle and I tilted my head to look at him. So he was anxious about the files but he can't admit to my face that I saved him."Please this way Ms... welcome to our resort" he added when he noticed I wasn't interested in his little speech of Victor, the grumpy man "Okay...if I'm not going to get thanked for my good deeds...well I get paid for It...haha"call it greed but I loved getting paid after a good job and delivering the files to the grumpy man was hard work and since he already portrayed me as a greedy surrogate well how about take advantage of that and treat myself to a wonderful afternoon hence I happily followed the manager inside while I waited for Victor. Not sure why but I didn't care why he thought I should wait for him when
